10Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many.
11For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths.
12For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed.
13Take hold of my instruction; let it not go,—but keep it for thyself for thy life.
